Identifiers should just allow spaces.

first element.get item(selected value)


This is not a joke.  I don't mean Python should necessarily do this
(though it could be done without any ambiguity or backward
incompatibility: there is currently nowhere in Python where two
identifiers can be separated by only a space), but new languages
should be designed to allow it.
